Team up with Div. 34

Div. 34 (Society for Environmental,
Population and Conservation
Psychology) wants to develop
relationships with members of
other divisions who are interested
in using knowledge of place
design and conservation to enrich
their own work.

“Environmental psychology
is relevant to clinicians, who can
apply this material to redesign
their offices and to evaluate how
the form of their patients’ homes
and workplaces influences their
life experiences,” says Div. 34
President Sally Augustin, PhD.
Clinicians can learn more about
ecotherapy tools through Div.
34, and health psychologists can
benefit from connecting with Div.
34 since design elements can be
linked to mood, motivation and
the functioning of the immune
system, she adds.

Psychologists focused on
consumer, worker and student
behavior will benefit from
discussions of how store,
workplace and school design
influence shoppers, employees
and learners. Interested
in collaborating? Contact
Augustin at sallyaugustin@

Div. 35 members: Serve on
feminist psychology task force
Div. 35 (Society for the
Psychology of Women) seeks new
members for its Task Force on
Academic Feminist Psychology
to implement ideas that came
out of the Institute for Academic
Feminist Psychologists, held Jan.

27–28 in San Antonio, such as
creating an online resource for
academic feminist psychologists.
The division is also interested in
ideas to support the continuation
of the institute, which brings
together academic psychologists
who take a feminist approach
to their research, teaching and
service.
